9 Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
10 used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
11 usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
12 This should not be used today, because usual systems create
13 many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
14 frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
15 that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
16 it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

2b2af54a 30 help
da5e4ef7 31 This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
4237e5fd
KS
32 In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
33 nodes with their default names and permissions for all
34 registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
35 Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
36 symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
37 It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
38 udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
39 symlinks.
40 In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
41 functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
42 rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.

51 This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the
52 devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has
53 mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden
54 with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.
55 This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here
56 the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually
0feb03af 57 after the rootfs is mounted.

58 With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in
59 rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory
60 on the rootfs is completely empty.

90 depends on FW_LOADER
91 default y
92 help
93 The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
113647a2 94 that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
156faf90 95 use these is to run "make firmware_install", which, after
96 converting ihex files to binary, copies all of the needed
97 binary files in firmware/ to /lib/firmware/ on your system so
d172e7f5
DW
98 that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
99
100 Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
101 into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
102 them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
113647a2 103 useful if your root file system requires a device that uses
104 such firmware and do not wish to use an initrd.

106 This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for
113647a2 107 every driver that uses request_firmware() and ships its
108 firmware in the kernel source tree, which avoids a
109 proliferation of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options.

113647a2 117 This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel for the case
118 where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it from
4d2acfbf

119 userspace at runtime (for example, when the firmware in question is
120 required for accessing the boot device, and the user doesn't want to
121 use an initrd).

113647a2 123 This option is a string and takes the (space-separated) names of the
124 firmware files -- the same names that appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
4d2acfbf
DW
125 and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under
126 the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
113647a2 127 by default the firmware subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
4d2acfbf 128
113647a2 129 For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy
130 the usb8388.bin file into the firmware directory, and build the kernel.
131 Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be satisfied internally
132 without needing to call out to userspace.

134 WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary
113647a2 135 kernel image that are not available under the terms of the GPL,
4d2acfbf 136 then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting
113647a2 137 image since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should

305 buffers will be aligned only to this specified order. The order is
306 expressed as a power of two multiplied by the PAGE_SIZE.

309 of 8 means that the buffers will be aligned up to 1MiB only.
